Sherman and the rest of the DBs are physical but I don't know if there are many, if any players like Lynch in the league. He sets the tone of our entire team. When Lynch is out there dragging 4 guys for a 4 yards, it has to fire up the rest of the team. Lynch may have weeks when he doesn't get the stats (which are becoming more rare nowadays) but every single week you can guarantee he is going drag some defenders for 25% of his yards.

but Bobby Wagner is getting exponentially better with every gameIt's amazing to think that SIX of our starting defense has less than 2.5 seasons of NFL experience (4 of those less than 1.5!), plus a rookie DE that's got 4.5 sacks already.

Is there anyone in the team NOT contracted through 2013 as well? Leroy Hill?? (who is possibly the "weak" link of the D, which is hardly an insult)??

Journalism is dead, it's been replaced by creative writing aka fake news.Critical thinking is pretty much dead too. I miss the hearsay rule. The concept of "ethic" has been stripped from the Journalism curriculum.

Lynch because he's the one most on an 'island'. I also can't pick anyone on defense, because they're all so damn impressive and defense is a joint effort. Also, some props need to go to Unger. I have a feeling he's doing a lot of work we don't see on the field with line calls and such.

What?! No love for Ryan? He's the model of consistency on Special teams. He's an important part to this Defense in that he sets them up deep in enemy territory, making those drives long and difficult. More Ryan love, Number 9 all day!

+1--- Epic run in a player who is becomming beloved by Seattle fans. Shaun Alexander was terrific, but there's something special about Lynch- the toughness and physicality he's displays, something that SA never had.
